Prof. Ray Co-Authors U.S. Biometric Privacy Primer

Professor Brian Ray co-authored the recently published The Sedona Conference U.S. Biometric Systems Privacy Primer (“Primer”).

Ray led the drafting group of experts in the legal and technical aspects of biometric identity systems who drafted the Primer to provide a general introduction to biometric systems and a summary of existing U.S. laws regulating the collection, use, and sharing of the biometric information these technologies collect.

This Primer is written as a resource for lawyers, judges, legislators, and other policymakers. It provides a general guide to the relationships among the technical, legal, and policy aspects of biometric systems—with a particular focus on privacy and related concerns these systems may raise.
